The goal of this thesis is to propose a critical point of view about the exhibition of the kanak intangible cultural heritage, recently offer at the musée du quai Branly. It’s with a postcolonial point of view, which the subject will be approached. Designed to correct the elitism of eurocentrism, postcolonialism is a school of thought that seeks to reposition the fringe players and challenges in the international arena. Polysemic, postcolonial discourse creates a plurality of perspectives including the voice of the “other”. In our study, we choose to approach this subject with a particular viewpoint. Our approach will devote to the interpretation of the “other” in the musée du quai Branly to understand what, today, exposed the particularity of kanak cultural heritage. This thesis proposes to do a feedback on arrival of the musée du quai Branly througt many recurring questions about perception and handling of the non-western object. This feedback seems to be necessary to make a balance sheet on exhibitionary process of the intangible cultural heritage in the exhibition “Kanak. L’art est une parole”. For that, the issues raised will be to approach with perspective of history of art, anthropology and museology.
By the museography developed, the museum share with public his commitment about didactic discourse that it would like transmits. Choices done for the exhibitionary process and his context determine the object definition that is in the museum. The musée du quai Branly is a special case. Promoted to the rank of museum of “primitive art” at his opening, it exhibits ethnographic objects came to Africa, Oceania, America and Asia for them aesthetic qualities. Far away to our western precepts, the challenge of this museum is to report on object’s history. The example of kanak artistic expression raises an issue insofar as it takes the form through intangible resources.
